After wowing us with his pre-game dunk routine over the past week, it seems as though everyone wants to see LeBron James take part in a Slam Dunk Contest now more than ever before. That includes Magic Johnson, who went so far as to say that he would fork over $1-million to the winner if LeBron James took part in next year’s NBA Slam Dunk Contest.

No joke. One Million Dollars. Seems like as good a reason as James has ever had to take part in the marquee event during the league’s All-Star Weekend.

Not only would he finally be giving the fans what they have always wanted, but he could also donate a large portion of his winnings (because we all know that there’s no way he’s losing) to a charity of his choice. It’s the type of thing that should have his PR guys salivating at the mouth.
